Fancy a change from a traditional pudding, particularly on a hot summer’s day? Treat your family with this delicious ice cream pudding, packed with fruits and nuts.

Ingredients:

16 glace cherries, finely chopped

2 Tbsp glace ginger, finely chopped

4 Tbsp raisins

1/2 can of pineapple pieces in natural juice, drained

4 Tbsp brandy

1/2 cup whole canned chestnuts

12 meringues, crushed

1 L reduced-fat ice cream, softened

Directions:

Place first five ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and heal on high for two minutes, mix well and then stand for a further ten minutes for brandy to soak into fruit.

In large mixing bowl combine chestnuts and meringues, then ice cream. Finally add in fruit mix.

Pack mixture into a six-cup pudding basin, cover with oven wrap and freeze until solid - preferably overnight.

To un-mould, place pudding briefly into basin of hot water and up-end onto a serving plate.

Variations:

The fat content of this recipe will depend on the type of ice-cream you use.
